“The Herald” calendar supports BTA
“The Herald” calendar supports BTA
The Duffy family were helped by Brain Tumour Action and The Herald has most generously decided to support us from the sales of their 2012 charity calendar.
Profits from the sales of the calendar, which showcases the best of Herald readers’ pictures, will go to Brain Tumour Action.
For Caleb and his parents to support us like this is a wonderful gesture. It is a way of helping more people become aware of the problems facing children with brain tumours. There is a desperate lack of research and available funding.
The calendar is on sale now for £7.50 (inc p&p). Order on-line at http://login.heraldscotland.com/heraldcalendar/order.cgi or by phone (0141 302 7300) or by visiting The Herald offices at 200 Renfield Stret, Glasgow G2 3QB.
